Franchise Registry
This website lists names of franchise systems whose franchisees enjoy the benefits of a streamlined review process for U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) financings. Through the Registry process, the SBA has already reviewed the franchise agreement and has determined that there are no unacceptable control provisions by the franchisor over its franchisees. A franchisor’s participation in the Registry is voluntary. http://www.franchiseregistry.com/Registry/
